Karma requirement for new users. Although this mechanic was meant to deter bots, it is a major hinderance in Reddit's growth as their new user experience is complete garbage. You are not allowed to post in the majority of popular subreddits without having a 1 week old account and 100/200 Karma. Most new users are not going to farm karma in pics or Askreddit to post in their favorite subreddits. Imagine if Youtube had a requirement that you had to watch 100 hours of youtube rewinds and other garbage videos before you could watch your favorite youtuber.
Moderators. Politics and "free speech" aside, getting banned from a subreddit because a 400 pound moderator doesn't like your completely normal opinions that the majority of normal people have is going to decline the Reddit userbase. If you're a new user and you post that "communism isn't the greatest government type of all time", and get perma banned from it, you're just going to uninstall the app.
Administration lag on problematic subreddits. Reddit admins are astronomically slow to ban subreddits that are not only problematic, but straight up illegal. You turn on your favorite stock TV show, and the headline of today is "Reddit stock down -40% due to a massive scandal of a creepshot subreddit where teachers took lewd pictures of underage students." Reddit still has a lot of subreddits like that even today, and it's only a matter of time before those get noticed too.
If reddit doesn't fix the above by IPO launch, I would hold off on any positions initially based on volatility, but I would do long puts after 3~ months after IPO for those long bleed gains + massive drops due to scandals/missed earnings. Look at HOOD's stock graph for an idea.
I think you underestimate the amount of censorship liberals endorse and the amount of doublethink they go through. The sites been picked mostly clean already and is most likely pretty profitable for their normie users who are on the new style. The amount of sheer absolute censorship kind of breaks my heart being an avid user since the whole Digg fiasco 10+ years ago.

r*ddit has turned into the gayest shit ever over the last 6-8 years. city subs used to host bar crawls and shit that brought together edgy tech bros and soi faggots in some pretty funny nights of debauchery, now they're all completely astroturfed by political/corporate interests into infuriatingly woke hugboxes.

It's all globohomo everything sucks all the time everywhere

it's true, it's not just r*ddit that's been gaywashed into worthlessness over the last 8 years, but they've been at the leading edge. I never thought tumblr faggots and SRS users would end up having so much power.
if that were true, I'd seriously consider buying it, just agreeing to moderate the narrative a certain way in election years alone would triple the investment

No, it's a physical condition as it is the physical body that is afflicted with chromosomes and genitals that don't match the perfectly sound and healthy mind
Dominic Gomez
Someone posted a screenshot of nigger crime statistics and I commented “wtf is this true?” And got banned
